Look Wiggins finished 9th in that race and not once whilst it was on did I think "oh Wiggins is 'in contention' to win"(I'm guessing there are others who share this view too).
A top-20 in a monument is a very good result. Top-10 is a great result. I fully realize there is a group of watchers who think 2nd is "first loser" and if that's the case with you, then there's nothing more to be posted.
